The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A character-focused action-adventure with simulation elements that feels rough and in-progress.

What players say

Players consistently praise the soundtrack and the three-protagonist structure, with each POV character getting a distinct role. Choices let you replay chapters and see different paths, and several reviewers note that dying yields story bits rather than a game over. The early access build ends on a cliffhanger, so players are waiting on later chapters.
